Re: finally complete!!

I think most of the furstration in this thread (for me anyways) doesn't come from the fact that you've collected every possible thing from the TF07 line. Its the fact that the TF07 line had so many repaints and package variants that it makes it so hard and disinteresting for people to be completests. I am sure you are one of the only ones out there, as opposed to say a complete MISB Beast Wars or even G1 collection.

Congrats to you for achieving your goal, And I hope it makes you very happy. there is no right way to collect, the main thing is you enjoy it.

Lets see some pictures because I'm sure we all haven't seen the full line in one shot before.

I suppose I should have just congratulated you so you'd feel a further sense of accomplishment, but I found the lack of co-relation between the compared topics in question funny. Nothing personal, it just doesn't add up.

We're a fan based community of a shared subject. We collect. We have goals. For him this was a personal goal/achievement. He should be excited and we should be happy for him. He has his reasons for collecting what he collects. It's no ones position to judge it or tell him he's doing it wrong if it's his choice.

Congrats on meeting your goal Mildtowild. I'm one Raindance figure short of completing my collection of G1's--Minus Pretenders..I have no desire to get them as they're stupid looking..but that's just my opinion.

Re: finally complete!!

I mostly collect only the movie (1 & 2) and Animated stuff, so I can certainly relate. Not into getting all the variations and keeping them boxed though.

And Sami, you WILL get the Pretenders. All of them. They're cool. Really cool. Buy, buy, buy.

Re: finally complete!!

I'm not judging what he collects, I'm curious as to the relation between an opinion on a movie and a choice to purchase toys for it. It's not like if you buy the toys it says you like the movie, or it tells Hasbro the movie was a success...it just seems like a odd reason to not purchase some good toys when a movie for it wasn't perfect.

Again....taking things waaaay too personally here.

Anywho, congrats mildtowild on climbing that mountain! Being a completist ain't easy, especially in this day and age!

I've seen such harsh statements quite a few times from GMFan.

Yes, I am a horrible person for questioning things that I don't understand...how else will I learn I ask you?

THIS. I got frustrated with the movie toyline and gave up on it. Waste of money, it seemed.

But glad you like it!
